I've heard conflicting claims. I know both have caffine in them but which has a high percentage?

To accurately answer this question, one would actually have to assay the brand of coffee and tea which you have in question.
However, from my days teaching Biochemistry labs as a grad student, I can give you the following:
A cup (8oz) of the coffee served for free to teachers in their "lounge" contained 50mg coffee per serving while the caffeinated lipton tea we tested contained only 40mg in the same serving size. For reference, Cocacola contains 47mg per 12oz can and red bull 82mg in the smaller cans (I forget the volume).

Depends on the type of Tea and Coffee. Also what complicates matter is caffeine like substance like theophilline. Black tea is suppose to have more than the average coffee. Green tea has much less than either. White tea has very little. There is two other caffeine like substance that gives black tea the extra punch, but they have a different side effect. THe general side effect is not as bad as caffeine though.

I have always heard that tea has more caffeine than coffee. But like the others here have said, I guess it depends on the brands of tea/coffee.

Actually tea has more caffine in it, but you can control the amount of caffine by dipping the tea bag lightly into the cup and having a very light cup of tea.

A 6 oz. cup of coffee has about twice as much caffeine as a 6 oz. cup of tea.
The caffeine in coffee varies by how it's prepared (like drip brewed, or percolated), but any type of coffee has approximately twice the caffeine of the same amount of black tea.
Green tea has about half as much caffeine as black tea, so green tea has about 1/4 the caffeine of coffee, ounce per ounce.
Hope that helps.
